Books with author Jacques Duquennoy

Using die-cut pages and printed acetate, Jacques Duquennoy introduces the concept of colors to preschoolers in a clever and innovative way. This addiiton to the Zoe and Zack™ series shows best friends Zoe and Zack armed with paintbrushes, ready to paint shapes of different colors. But what are they painting? Turn the acetate pages to find out! They transform a few blobs of color into a fish, a seal, a big purple turtle, and much more! Fostering creativity and encouraging imagination, Colors will show children just how colorful—and magical—the world can be!

Little Ghost is hosting a dance party, and you’re invited! By simply tilting the book, children will be captivated by moving various parts of each party guest to replicate the instructed dance moves, or create their own! In addition, young readers will practice associating directional phrases with motor skills, through text that prompts left and right turns, upward and downward tilts, and more. Evoking memories of such vintage toys as Wooly Willy and mini labyrinth games, this hilariously addictive and irresistibly crafted package will draw in readers of all ages. Praise for Little Ghost Party "The sort of inventiveness that will delight anyone who picks it up." —School Library Journal "A book that readers must tilt, spin and jiggle in order to truly experience." —Kirkus Reviews

Something is wrong with Henry! First he gets the measles, then jaundice, and then he falls out of a tree. He’s walking strangely and even falls asleep at night--something ghosts never do.

Thanks to Dr. Ouch and his ghost buddies, Henry is soon back to . . . almost normal.

Zoe and Zack are best friends. They do everything together! In their latest learning adventure, the two pals show toddlers just how fun counting can be! While Zack juggles colorful balls with his feet or balances them on his head, Zoe makes the numbers with her body. Each number and ball has a grainy texture, which encourages children to learn by touch as well as sound. They can also easily identify numbers with the sturdy, tabbed pages. And what's more, each spread shows what each number looks like on dice and when counting with fingers. A great addition to a toddler's library of concept books!
